West Ham went behind to an Adam Lallana strike inside of the first five minutes of the game at Anfield.

But Dimitri Payet and Michail Antonio hit back to give the Hammers the lead before the break.

Divock Origi levelled the game back up shortly after the interval and West Ham were able to hang on to earn a valuable point to see them move out of the drop zone.
